Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

Guide

3.4. cn=features

There are not attributes for this entry. This entry is only used as a parent container entry. See

the documentation on the child entries for more information.

3.5. cn=mapping tree

• Configuration attributes for suffixes, replication, and Windows synchronization are stored

under cn=mapping tree,cn=config. Configuration attributes related to suffixes are found

under the suffix subentry cn=suffix, cn=mapping tree,cn=config.

For example, a suffix is the root entry in the directory tree, such as dc=example,dc=com.

• Replication configuration attributes are stored under cn=replica, cn=suffix, cn=mapping

tree,cn=config.

• Replication agreement attributes are stored under cn=replicationAgreementName,

cn=replica, cn=suffix,cn=mapping tree,cn=config.

• Windows synchronization agreement attributes are stored under cn=syncAgreementName,

cn=replica, cn=suffix,cn=mapping tree,cn=config.

3.6. Suffix Configuration Attributes under cn="suffixName"

Suffix configuration attributes are stored under the cn=suffix entry. The cn=suffix entry is an

instance of the nsMappingTree object class which inherits from the extensibleObject object

class. For suffix configuration attributes to be taken into account by the server, these object

classes (in addition to the top object class) must be present in the entry.

The suffix DN should be quoted because the suffix DN contains characters such as equals

signs (=), commas (,), and space characters that must be quoted or escaped to appear as a

value in another DN.
